This busy Notting Hill road connecting Bayswater with Notting Hill Gate has parking both sides, making it impossible for large vehicles to pass - a major issue as it has 4 busy bus routes passing along it (including a night bus)!

Location: (about 1 km from) near to Paddington, Westminster

Residents have included:

  • John Mark Frederick Smith (Wikipedia page [1]), who died on 20 November 1874 at his residence, No 62
  • Violette Szabo (Wikipedia page [2]), who lived in No 36

1959 photo of Pembridge Villas, Notting Hill, looking NE, towards Westbourne Grove and Chepstow Road. The car is a Morris Oxford, while the bus behind is 1949 built London Transport bus RT2217 (reg. KGU 146), headed for Hammersmith on route 27 (Archway - Teddington). The bus appears to have remained in service until 1971, before being withdrawn and presumably scrapped.
